The staff at this location were amazing! We had a number of unexpected arrivals in our party and adjusted quickly to make more room for us, our menu requests were varied but they didn't forget a single one. Lastly, our food was great value for money. Thank you, Symposium, for a great time. Be well, DT

I met some friends for lunch at Symposium Cafe but unfortunately, made the wrong food choice of fish and chips. Although the french fries were tasty, the fish tasted like it came out of a deep freezer and the cole slaw was terrible. My friends, who ordered salads and soup, fared much better. Sadly, I was disappointed in my meal.

We went on a Tuesday and had the 50% off pasta and it was the best seafood pasta I have ever had. It was served HOT! And so much seafood and incredibly flavourful!

I had brunch here with some friends, and the service was excellent! The hollandaise sauce and home fries were delicious. However, the avocado toast could be improved by using sliced avocado instead of the mashed version, which tasted like it may have been previously frozen.

Staff was friendly and attentive. Food came mostly in a timely manner. Pancakes were dry, the rest of the food was good. We (6 of us) mostly ordered breakfast, one ordered salad. We would eat here again.

Not our first time and definitely not going to be our last time here. Sri and everyone here was so helpful and courteous. Sorry if I spell Savan the managers name wrong. Thank you for everything you did for our party of 4. Although we were the last people there, not rushed to leave. Great time had. Back soon.

Always enjoy a meal at Symposium Ajax. Food is great. The noise level is good - no loud music. The patio is very nice there too.

We went there for brunch on Sunday. We had six people at our table and the table was reserved. No problem getting table. The food was good. We had breakfast, fish and chips which were massive, and the burger was delicious. My major complaint would be that it is extremely loud and almost impossible to hear because of the high ceiling
